• Ben Whishaw To Play Freddie Mercury in Movie About Queen Frontman?

    The latest biopic trend in Hollywood has yet to cease, spanning the stories of iconic musicians from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix. A Freddie Mercury focused movie has been floating around since 2010 when Sacha Baron Cohen was slated to tackle the role of the extravagant Queen frontman. He dropped out of the position in 2013 along with the original director, leaving the fate of the film in limbo. On Wednesday, GK films revealed that they found a new screenwriter to jumpstart the film once more, keeping an eye on Ben Whishaw to portray the iconic singer.
